"My Ship" is a popular song written for the 1941 Broadway musical ''Lady in the Dark'', with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. The music is marked "Andante espressivo"; Gershwin describes it as "orchestrated by Kurt to sound sweet and simple at times, mysterious and menacing at other". It was premiered by Gertrude Lawrence in the role of Liza Elliott, the editor of a fashion magazine. In the context of the show, the song comes in a sequence in which Elliott, in psychoanalysis, recalls a turn-of-the-century song she knew in her childhood. The song was not included in the 1944 Hollywood film ''Lady in the Dark'', a fact which Ira Gershwin found inexplicable: ==Cover versions== Artists who have recorded the song include (in alphabetical order): * Ernestine Anderson - ''The Toast of the Nation's Critics'' (1958) * Cindy Blackman - ''Works on Canvas'' (1999) * Betty Buckley - ''An Evening at Carnegie Hall'' (1996) * Dee Dee Bridgewater - ''This Is New'' (Verve, 2002) * Ron Carter - ''Peg Leg'' (Milestone, 1978) * June Christy - ''Ballads for Night People'' (1959) * Jacqui Dankworth - ''As the Sun Shines Down on Me'' (2002) * Miles Davis with Gil Evans - ''Miles Ahead'' (Columbia, 1957) * Steve Davis - ''Eloquence'' (2010) * Doris Day - ''I Have Dreamed'' (1961) * Judy Garland (1953) * Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Roy Hargrove - ''Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall'' (2002) * Johnny Hartman - ''The Voice That Is!''
